Shahid Kapoor, known for his versatile roles, is embarking on a new journey into the realm of mythology with his latest project, “Ashwatthama – The Saga Continues.” In this upcoming film slated for release on Amazon Prime Video, Kapoor will portray the iconic character of Ashwatthama, a legendary immortal warrior from the epic Mahabharata.
Unlike traditional retellings, “Ashwatthama – The Saga Continues” offers a modern twist, setting the story in the present day amidst a backdrop of rapid technological advancements. Here, Ashwatthama finds himself navigating the complexities of a contemporary world while facing formidable enemies in an action-packed narrative.
The film promises to delve deep into the psyche of Ashwatthama, exploring the weight of millennia of human history that he has witnessed and how he perceives the world around him. Kapoor’s portrayal is expected to bring a fresh perspective to this timeless character, showcasing his range as an actor.
The announcement of Kapoor’s involvement in the project comes after filmmaker Aditya Dhar’s earlier attempt to bring Ashwatthama to the screen with Vicky Kaushal in the lead role was shelved due to budgetary constraints.
